I am aware of the debate in Kenya about the stadium and the incompletion in collaboration with the sports CS Ababu Namwamba, we will make sure we complete all stadia. We will have a master plan, making sure stadia are built to international standards.

The transformation of sports into a viable vehicle for transforming our country has in the recent past been faced with obstacles that have reduced the prominence of the sports sector. This is due to the fact that the sports sector is faced with corruption scandals that led to Kenyans demanding the arrest of Football Kenya Federation President Nick Mwendwa and his illegal office post.

While the football fraternity is facing scandals, the athletes turned a blind eye to such issues and brought glory to the nation a week ago in Budapest.

While speaking at the Jumba la Talanta house during its opening and awarding of world champions in the recently concluded world athletics championships in Budapest, Hungary which brought victory to the country, having a great win, President William Ruto has come out to defend the issue of incompletion of national stadia around the country.

While speaking at the event, he assured the sports fraternity of all the national stadia’s completion to international standards to foster sports within the country and the region at large.

“I am aware of the debate in Kenya about the stadium and the incompletion in collaboration with the sports CS Ababu Namwamba, we will make sure we complete all stadia. We will have a master plan, making sure stadia are built to international standards. Kipchoge Keino in Eldoret, Nyayo in Nairobi, Moi International Sports Centre, Kasarani to International standards that meet accreditation to help return international football to Kenya in a viable way” he stated.
